Evidence Summary of Hypothermia Prevention and Management in Patients with General Anesthesia During Recovery Period

Purpose To summarize the best evidence for the prevention and management of hypothermia in patients with general anesthesia during recovery period. Method Domestic and foreign databases and related websites were searched to collect guidelines, clinical decisions, systematic reviews, expert consensuses, and randomized controlled trials related to the prevention and management of hypothermia during recovery from general anesthesia. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to November 2024.Result A total of 9 guidelines, 1 clinical decision support, 1 evidence summary, 5 systematic reviews, 2 expert consensuses, and 4 randomized controlled trials were included, including 5 dimensions and 26 best evidences.
